Iron, that is DV res its the highest that I know of. everything is in that res for video. Now given that its a XL1s I don't know it might have greater capablitys than the standered. I know thats the max res on my sony. DV.

If your XL1 is capable of 1200x800 something thin you will want to change the project settings in premeir if posible to that. I kinda doubt it.

it might also help if you quantify "crap" 720x480 is what comes off of DVD's also. so I'm wandering if your thinking a higher res is the anser to a problem that might really be that you are not use to seeing scanlines on video footige on the computer. becouse the moniter refresh is so difrent from a TV's it makes them very aparint. There are ways to get ride of a lot of problems you could be having..
